Top 25
Minnesota 27 (24) Illinois 17
• Minnesota is the unranked favorite in this matchup and I believe Vegas has it right with the Gophers being the favorite. Minnesota got it done last week through the air but can always go rely on RB Darius Taylor to carry the load and I believe he will this week.
(21) Army 31 Air Force 10
• These Service Academy games are usually lower scoring as both teams just know how to defend the option and the clock constantly runs. This year Army is way better than Air Force and I believe they get the win but I’ll take the Falcons ATS.
(20) SMU 35 (18) Pittsburgh 24
• There’s a lot of unknowns in this game at QB, Kevin Jennings and Eli Holstein are both banged up. Holstein has been cleared to play and Jennings is still a GTD for now but has to be cleared first. My formula loves SMU in this game and I believe with a healthy Jennings they’re the better team.
(19) Ole Miss 31 Arkansas 24
• The Razorbacks have had a better season than I believed they would have. Most of that is due to the play of QB Taylen Green who’s had some phenomenal performances. The Rebels already have two losses but I believe Ole Miss is the better team in this game and they find a way to win.
(17) Kansas State 28 Houston 17
• Avery Johnson and KSU have much more firepower in this game and I’d be surprised if UH was able to pull off the upset.
(15) Boise State 48 SDSU 17
• The Aztecs are having a rough year and Ashton Jeanty is about to make things a lot worse. Broncos win and cover ATS!!!!!!
(13) Indiana 27 Michigan State 24
• Kurtis Rourke is expected back at QB for the Hoosiers but I’m not certain he will be 100%. The Spartans are a huge wildcard because Freshman QB Aidan Chiles has so much upside but he’s also capable of a bad bad game. My formula loves MSU +7.5 here, I’ll take Indiana to go 9-0 but Michigan State covers.
(11) Iowa State 38 Texas Tech 20
• ISU is playing fantastic and they have an enormous coaching advantage. Give me the Cyclones to win and cover.
(11) Clemson 31 Louisville 24
• It’s possible that Clemson is the best team in the ACC, I’d probably pick them over Miami head to head even though my preseason pick was the canes. The biggest question mark for Clemson is who have they played besides Georgia? The answer is nobody, a lot of mid or bad teams like Stanford, FSU, UVA, Wake Forest, Appalachian State and NC State. This will be the first test for Clemson since week 1. Louisville is 5-3 with losses to some really good teams in Notre Dame, SMU and Miami. Louisville is battle tested and I believe they keep this game close.
South Carolina 20 (10) Texas A&M 17
• South Carolina is one of those teams that’s extremely hard to predict because they’re so volatile. The Gamecocks have a pass rush that’s capable of wreaking havoc and for them to win they’ll need to get plenty of pressure on A&M. The Aggies are playing very well and I had them winning last week vs LSU but Freshman QB Marcel Reed will be tested by this Gamecocks Defense and I like South Carolina to get a big upset win.
(7) Tennessee 27 Kentucky 14
• Kentucky isn’t a good football team this season but they’re also not a team that can be overlooked (Ask Ole Miss). I fully expect Dylan Sampson to run for over 100 yards 2 TDs and lead the Vols to a win.
(5) Miami 42 Duke 13
• A lot of people expect Manny Diaz and Duke to keep this one close and cover the 20 point spread, I don’t!!!!!! I believe the Canes come out firing on all cylinders in this one and blow the Blue Devils out. Mario Cristobal wants to make a statement in this one and I believe he does.
(3) Penn State 21 (4) Ohio State 17
• The BIGGEST GAME OF THE WEEK is at Noon in Week 10 (Don’t like that but it is what it is). I have PSU getting a big win at home and establishing themselves as a legit CFP team. This is a great opportunity at home for the Nittany Lions because the Buckeyes have some issues at OT and the defense has holes. If Abdul Carter and the Defense can create pressure and take advantage of weak OTs then PSU will win this game.
(2) Georgia 31 Florida 16
• I fully expect the Dawgs to win this game but DJ Lagway is a wildcard at QB who could make things interesting. The Gators aren’t a horrible team but the schedule has been brutal and this will be the toughest test yet for Lagway. Trevor Etienne will look to have a big game vs his old team and I expect Carson Beck to play well in this one.
(1) Oregon 31 Michigan 17
• My formula says Michigan covers the 15 point spread and if they do I believe it’s still a two TD loss. I believe Michigan is capable of keeping this one decently close but the Ducks 100% win this game.
